The Landing Terrace
Back
From the kitchen yard to the  lawn with the swimming-pool there are two flights of steps. The landing between those formed earlier the Cotoneaster-tunnel. By and by we introduced many different shrubs and plants. A few frames for seedlings have been moved up here , when the new house occupied "the nursery".
1 The terrace towards south-east with self-sown  white mallows - Malva moschata
2 Lupinus-seedplants
3 Plantago major 'Rosularis'- Rose Plantain
4 The terrace towards north-west with the flowering hawthorn-hedge in the background
5 Crocus tommasinianus – in the frame
6 Crocus tommasinianus – from seed
7 Crocus sieberi ‘Hubert Edelsten’
8 Allium aflatunense on the slope
9 Allium oreophilum
10 View through a Rhus typhina down to the terrace with the flowering Lilium regale
11 Lilium regale
12 Eremerus robustus
13 Exochorda x macrantha 'The Bride'
14 Underplanted with Pulmonaria 'Sissinghurst White'
15 Rhododendron 'Persil'
16		17
Aquilegia canadensis (form)

Aquilegia viridiflora
20 Tove weeding around the frame. The Cotoneaster dielsianus were entirely cut down the year before, growing all over the path. Now coming again fine (and the next year they were in full height). In the background to the left Thuja standishii and to the right Sinarundinaria from Aksel Olsen.
21 In the frame: Lewisia rediviva flowering and  Glaucidium palmatum. The big seeds planted in autumn gives only these two germ layers disappearing completely during the first summer. Next summer emerges the seedling proper and you can re-pot in the autumn.
22 Glaucidium palmatum 'Album' - flowering in its fourth year.
23 Bitterroot in the frame
